Try it.
test=# create table apples (id int, name1 text, name2 text);
CREATE TABLE
test=# create table pears (id int, name1 text, name2 text);
CREATE TABLE
test=# create rule apples_pears_update as on update to apples do instead
update pears set name1= NEW.name1, name2=NEW.name2 where id=NEW.id ;
CREATE RULE
test=# insert into apples values (1, 'a', 'a');
INSERT 0 1
test=# insert into pears values (1, 'a', 'a');
INSERT 0 1
test=#
test=# update apples set name1='b' where id = 1;
UPDATE 1
test=# select * from pears ;id | name1 | name2
----+-------+------- 1 | b | a
(1 row)
test=# update apples set name2='c' where id = 1;
UPDATE 1
test=# select * from pears ;id | name1 | name2
----+-------+------- 1 | a | c
(1 row)
test=# update apples set name1='e', name2='e' where id = 1;
UPDATE 1
test=# select * from pears ;id | name1 | name2
----+-------+------- 1 | e | e
